Happy NEW Year - New template resource

Hello, and a Happy 2024 to you.

The end of a year and the beginning of a new one often gives me time to reflect and think about ways to improve myself, and the processes I use in my life.  I am already pleased to announce that one of those changes has already been implemented and seems to be working, and already helpful to myself and my customers.  I have enlisted the help of an online website to help with booking my online classes.  

You can see what I have on offer and be able to book on here.

But wait! That's not all...

I am constantly designing cards, I run a monthly class where I have to design and create the kits for 3 cards, I have a YouTube channel to provide ideas for and sometimes those are completely improvised and of the moment.  Either way there are some advantages to being able to simply record designs that are tried and tested and can easily be repeated with alternative paper, card and embelishments.

So... my plan is, whenever I design a fancy fold card, I will draw out a plan for it on grid paper, take a photo, and share it on here or on my Facebook group.

So this is my first one recorded in this way...

The idea for this card popped into my head and I immeadiately embraced it as I love the idea of adding dimension to a card, but still keeping it flat for posting.

I used the FREE Saleabration paper from Stampin' Up!  (2024) called Trusty Toolbox and loved how it turned out.

I created a pop-up tube on which to place my focal point.

During my YouTube live I remade it, slightly adapting it with a shorted tube, moving it's position, changing the paper, card and embellishments.

Those laser cut butterflies are available in the new MINI CATALOGUE product no 162612

The self adhesive sequins make an instant finishing touch for them - product no 161206

Here is the measurements, and if you want to see how to assemble it please watch my video below.

---{Colourful florals on a geometric background}---

As some of you may know, I love florals.

I've discovered that what I love even more, is when florals are juxtaposed with geometric designs.  You know... those lines and repeat patterns.  Then what I love even more than that is when you have a colourful flower against a neutral. 

The flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper are perfect for colouring in and cutting out to create a fabulous focal point.

Teemed with the papers from the Well Suited Suite, the contrasts just compliment each other.

Here is the video of the live where I made them.

(Feel free to skip to the best parts)

I used the Stampin Blends from Stampin' Up to colour the flowers.  As they are alcohol based it makes blending the colours so much easier.

With the card below, can you see how the flowers are on the edge and in the corner?  Thats because they were like that on the whole sheet of paper and I didn't want to waste them.

Thank you for stopping by.

{One Sheet Wonder - Masked Circles}

The idea for this has been floating around in my head for a while.

It finally decided to burst out when I was meant to be going to bed!

Anyway, the results were very pleasing, and after you see the video I'm sure you will be inspired to think about how else you can use this technique with stamps you may have.

The only additional items you need are some sticky notes and something to cut out a circle with, scissors will suffice if you don't have a punch or dies.

This stamp set is particularly helpful for this effect

Here is the sheet before I cut it up.

Then the cards that were made from it.

I had another play on a YouTube live, here is that video.

Don't forget, if you would like a copy of the new Autumn/Winter catalogue you can drop me a line and I'll pop one in the post to you.  If you can't wait that long, you can see it here.

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Baby Wipe Technique}

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday.  We've been enjoying some lovely weather here in Mid Wales, apparently reaching record temperatures.  My children are on their half term holiday, and we're looking forward to a cinema trip today.

I've used this technique several times, and each time I use it I love it.  It does require having some of the Reinkers that Stampin' Up! sell to refresh their ink pads.

When I filmed this I wanted to get the most out of the custom ink pad I had made.  So to start off with I stamped 3 sheets of A4 , then another one.  Then... I then went on to create several more individual cards. In total I finished up with 20 cards, I did add a few drops of extra colour towards the end.

The stamp sets used are

Bloom by Bloom

Waterfront

Painted Glass

Here are the ones made from the one sheet wonders.

These are the cards I stamped, I have deliberately left the circle unstamped until I know who I'm giving this too and for what occasion. 

I loved how these designed teamed up so well with the dragonfly die cut.

Here is the video tutorial, enjoy!
